Re: 2024 Season Week 1

Bo overthrew a few receivers but key drops cost the Ticats the game. Tim White is usually reliable but I don’t know if the Ticats have enough other quality receivers to contend.

Re: Lions season opener in Toronto next Sunday

The Lions have added defensive linemen Nathan Cherry and Francis Bemiy to the 6-game injured list and offensive linemen Chris Schleuger and George Una to the 1-game injured list in advance of Sunday's season opener in Toronto. The offensive depth chart shows Michael Couture starting at centre, backe...

Re: All things Media/Marketing 2024

I’ve long wanted Bell Media to air the Grey Cup on CTV. Many Canadians don’t subscribe to TSN and thus miss out on the opportunity to watch any CFL content. Adding weekly regular-season games and all playoff games is a huge boost in exposure to rival what CTV already gives the NFL.

Re: Lions cuts

Dave Campbell reporting the Elks are going to sign Prokup as their short yardage QB. Am I missing something when they already have the ultra athletic Tre Ford at #2? Yet our plan is to initially just keep VA on the field. Henry Burris was the best short-yardage QB in the league when he won a Grey C...

Cheers! Go Lions Welcome redrover. I've been a Lions' fan since 1963. I got my first season tickets i...

Re: Lions' receivers

Hatcher’s contract has been described as a “backloaded cap-friendly” deal. If he returns this year, it won’t cost the team much.

Re: Lions cuts

Lots of changes in the secondary with Lee out, Mauger and Sayles cut, Edwards-Cooper gone. I thought they were pretty strong last year so it is surprising to see so much turnover. I have lots of confidence in Phillips to make these decisions, but it might take some time for things to settle and gel...

Re: Lions cuts

Still a bit of a log jam in some position groups. After taking the existing roster and parsing out Catchings & Chen who were cut a few days ago, those released and those added to the PR I come up with 50 names left on the active roster. There still is an overabundance of OL listed with 9 and DL...

Re: Lions cuts

Sayles is a surprise. He missed part of training camp, which gave American rookie Ronald Kent and Canadian draft pick Christophe Beaulieu quality reps at halfback. Both survived the cuts. With national DBs Adrian Greene, Patrice Rene and Beaulieu on the roster, Bagayogo didn't show enough developmen...

Re: Training camp 2024

Who are the Lions final cuts ? Tried searching the Lions website and CFL.ca Seems to be a big secret. The Lions are usually the last team to announce their cuts, and the information is always limited. They don’t finalize their roster until the eve of their first regular season game, when they decla...

Does anyone know why someone was wearing Hatcher’s #4?
Ronald Kent was issued that number at the start of camp. At the time, with 100 players on the roster, there were a lot of numbers duplicated on offence and defence. If Kent survives final cuts, he’ll probably be issued a new number.

Re: Edmonton Elks at BC Lions - May 31, 2024 - Pregame Day Thread

I tried to watch the line play from the end zone, a perspective I didn’t have from the Hillside Stadium bleachers at training camp. On offence, Tyler Packer has moved up the depth chart at centre and took some reps with the first team. The line seem to play better with him in the middle but Andrew P...

Re: Training camp 2024

It took a few years to come to this decision but Rick Campbell said today that the Lions decided to get bigger this year on the offensive and defensive lines and at running back. They have the bigger bodies to do it. The rotations on the defensive line will be interesting. Moore took first-team rep...

You guys had games last year with Greene, Bagayogo and Rene backing up in the secondary. Probably one of the only teams to use more DBs, than LBs for special teams.
Yes, and Beaulieu and Ringland give the Lions 5 potential quality national DBs. I expect Beaulieu to land a roster spot.
